This marinade balances sharp Dijon mustard with honey, olive oil, and a splash of vinegar to tenderize and flavor meat before grilling or baking. It works well on chicken, pork, or salmon, and comes together in minutes with pantry staples. Use it as a soak before cooking, then simmer any extra as a finishing glaze.

  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1/3 cup Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika

Method

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the honey, Dijon mustard, olive oil, and apple cider vinegar until smooth and fully combined.

  2. Add the minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and paprika, and whisk again until evenly incorporated.

  3. Pour the marinade over meat or fish in a resealable bag or shallow dish, turning to coat evenly.

  4. Cover and refrigerate, marinating for at least 30 minutes and up to 8 hours depending on the protein.
